9 Months

That's how long I forgot to pay my water bill. They put a notice in my door, but since it has been windier than Chicago, it blew out. Then one day I came home and went to wash my hands, but the water wasn't running. Since it was an old house, I assumed it was one of the pipes that had busted. When I went into the basement to look, I was wrong. Pissed, and assuming the water company had turned mine off by mistake, I went back upstairs and channeled my anger to do some cleaning, since it was too late to call the water company. When I took the garbage out, I noticed a pink slip laying next to my porch. It was a notice that they had turned my water off. Yeah, thanks for letting me know. When I called them, the lady said, "Well, you haven't paid your bill in nine months." I laughed and told her to turn it back on. She didn't fine me funny. But my water is back on. A day in the life.
